    Experiences with Open Source Firmware on the Tongsheng TSDZ2

    I haven't no. The Windows method is not a simple job either requiring various sources being installed to work, so I would not expect Wine to do well with it. Happy to be proven wrong tho! There are some instructions to run the software natively in Linux so will give that a go.

    Experiences with Open Source Firmware on the Tongsheng TSDZ2

    Calibrating The Torque Sensor On A TSDZ2 in simple English

    Perry, Afaik the instructions on GitHub relate to using a non standard display with the TSDZ2 motor which may be why it is not making sense - I see though you are using open source firmware so maybe you are running a different display? It may be worth popping a comment on ***this post*** on...

    Will do. Have only used instructions off some very helpful websites but it's great that it can be done. Kudos to the hacker community really!
